This was incredible

It just keeps getting crazier and crazier....

Human activity will always be necessary, but in a creative, challenging, problem-solving sense, not like many tasks today enforced by need for monetary values. Finance/money is just an inadequate system developed by mankind to manage resources. Once we remove boundaries in thinking, overcome egoism and enforced profit striving with its inhumane, exploitive impacts by creating unbiased sorrounding conditions, artificial scarcity will vanish and money will have no purpose anymore.

@Linsley121 I didn't say that externally nation states weren't violent. But internally they are much more civilized.

@Linsley121 If you don't understand how pivotal and vital the CEOs position in creating wealth is then you simply don't understand what a business is and what it is they do when they make profit through trade. Money will always have to exist for society to exist. Technological advancement doesn't do anything to effect its function. Human labour will always be necessary but will change in form as it has radically over the past 100 years. That will continue and that's good.

@Linsley121 That's just the myth of the noble savage. I've heard of it. It's bunk.

religion is distortion, leadership is war, relationship is peace.

@Linsley121 "most violent society" i just cant believe you would say that. I mean, gosh, the US is the only country who dropped the most terrifying bomb on a city of innocent people..and your telling me that indians, with their cultural values, are the most violent. im sorry ive never heard that accusation before

[Linsley121]

@Esonparagon This is the 21stcentury,not the year100,therefore theres no reason why we need to uphold an ancient social stratified system.How is it that a CEO of a cigerette company creating wealth & prosperity for anybody besides the few selected within the company?How is it that a monetary system will even need to exist if technology keeps improving at the rate it has?Human labor will become a thing of the past & humanity will finally become the main priority once we stop chasing the $ signs

[Linsley121]

@Esoparagon You say"most violent societies that exist"..i would love 2 see the proof u have to back up that information.Horticultural soceities, such as the indians of north america, were very peaceful societies. & yet when u look at Columbus u notice a complete genoncide put out upon the indians by these religious finatics. I can tell that you have never taken a sociology class. Tribal societies virtually had no violence from within, it wasnt until someone invaded them then they would attack
